Ellsbury (hip) is back in the lineup in center field and is batting leadoff Sunday against the White Sox, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees have held Ellsbury out of the lineup over the last eight games while he's battled the hip ailment, but he was fortunately able to avoid a DL stint and looks like he's ready to serve in an everyday role once again. Ellsbury's return will result in Aaron Hicks returning to the bench for the afternoon.
